Two HDs, one iTunes Library

Well, I got a 60GB drive back in November, thinking it would be enough for all my music. Now, I'm all out of space, with about 100 CDs still to import. Can I buy another HD and have one iTunes library that spans the two HDs? Could you do this as a Disk Util option, to make two drives act as one to the system, kinda like RAID, only the opposite way?



Thanks

Matt

    iirc, you can have a library that spans two drives, but it will only rip to one drive when you're extracting audio.

    it will only rip to one, but you can the one that is full of mp3z just being read from and the new HD u get for the newely ripped CD's...or downloadd music, whichever tickles ur fancy

    my library spans over 3 drives. but only the oldest one is specified in itunes prefs, and its the most full. so i cant extract or add to it. its the only one that stays organized though.

    Sweet. So, could I do this with iTunes 2, as well? How would I set this up?
